Texas Dem official faces demands to resign for calling Tim Scott 'an oreo'
2021-05-02
[FOXNEWS] A Texas Democratic official is facing calls to step down from his role after he called Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., a racial slur.

"I had hoped that Scott might show some common sense, but it seems clear he is little more than an oreo with no real principles," Lamar County Democratic Party chair Gary O'Connor wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post, referring to Scott's rebuttal to President Joe Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences...
's Congressional address on Wednesday.

Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas -- whose district includes Lamar County located in Northeast Texas -- eviscerated O'Connor for his comment on Friday. In a blurb, Fallon called the slur — which refers to a Black person who is perceived as acting White — "unforgivable."

"Gary O'Connor's comment against Senator Tim Scott is abhorrent, insulting, and unforgivable. Both he and the entire Lamar County Democratic Party should be ashamed of this racist behavior," said Fallon.

The first-term congressman called on O'Connor to "apologize and step down immediately" for his racially charged comments slur and asked the Texas Democratic Party and the NAACP "to condemn these words."

Fallon also said the party "should take swift action to censure him."

The Texas Democratic Party didn't immediately return Fox News' request for comment.

"This kind of behavior is not tolerable in Texas, the United States, or any political party," Fallon added.

Note:
The Democrat Party Chair, showing himself to be a Anti-White Racist Democrat was automatically granted Social Media Immunity. Therefore his tracks and quotes were quickly cleaned up to protect him.


Btw: Oreo comes in more than 1 color combination.
